Biohazardous Waste. â refers to waste (e.g. body fluids or tissues) which has the risk of carrying human pathogens. Biohazardous Waste is usually generated at health care facilities or research facilities, and the term is used interchangeably with Medical Waste. â is the term OSHA uses to describe blood and body fluids and âOPIMâ (other potentially infectious material) as defined in the Bloodborne Pathogens regulation (BBP).
Radioactive (or nuclear) waste is a byproduct from nuclear reactors, fuel processing plants, hospitals and research facilities. Radioactive waste is also generated while decommissioning and dismantling nuclear reactors and other nuclear facilities.There are two broad classifications: high-level or low-level waste.irst, uranium atoms split, creating energy that is used to produce electricity. The fission creates radioactive isotopes of lighter elements such as cesium-137 and strontium-90. These isotopes, called fission products, account for most of the heat and penetrating radiation in high-level waste.
